This event is scheduled to take place on 14th June 2018, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, in Derbyshire, aiming to engage potential suppliers in the medical equipment sector. Interested parties must register by no later than 12 PM on 8th June 2018 to secure their attendance, as places are limited to two representatives per organisation. Documentation pertinent to the service, including a draft specification, will be made available ahead of the event to allow for early feedback from providers. This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in medical equipment and services, particularly those focusing on wheelchair provision and associated equipment for both adults and children. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary or community sector organisations (VCSEs) would be well-suited to participate, particularly those interested in forming partnerships or subcontracting arrangements. The market engagement event is designed to foster networking and collaboration, potentially leading to growth for businesses that align their offerings with the needs outlined by the NHS commissioners. ## Notice NHS Southern Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Group (SDCCG) acting as Lead Commissioner on behalf of the Derbyshire Clinical Commissioning Groups (NHS Hardwick CCG, NHS Erewash CCG and NHS North Derbyshire CCG) is holding a Market Engagement event for Wheelchair Services for Adults and Children across Derbyshire on 14th June 2018 (10.00 - 1.00pm) in Derbyshire (Venue to be confirmed). Places are strictly limited therefore reservations are limited to no more than 2 persons per Organisation. You can express an interest in this market testing exercise and bidder information event by registering your organisation on the Bravo website: https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk. The PQQ reference is PQQ_481. Once registered, please complete the questions in the qualification envelope which asks providers to give details about your organisation's name and postal address, email address, contact name and number. Please register your attendance by no later than 12pm (noon) 8th June 2018. It is the Commissioners intention to share the draft service specification prior to the event and invite comments from Providers. Once the draft specification has been uploaded onto the portal, a broadcast message will be sent to alert all providers who have already registered for the market engagement event, that it is available for review. Details on how providers can give feedback on the draft specification will be included. Please note that whilst there may be an opportunity to comment, the Commissioners are not obligated to incorporate or change the draft specification. This process has been designed to allow the market visibility of the proposed opportunity and support early engagement and networking between providers looking to sub-contract or form partnerships with other providers. The service will assess children, young people and adults and provide wheelchair and all associated equipment as appropriate based on broad categories of need. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37ff106c-e23c-41b7-8b3f-464b647f36b7 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 May 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Jun 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS ARDEN AND GREATER EAST MIDLANDS COMMISSIONING SUPPORT UNIT | | Locality | DERBY | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE1 3QT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF11 Derby | | Local authority | Derby | | Electoral ward | Darley | | Westminster constituency | Derby North | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 33 - Medical equipments, pharmaceuticals and personal care products ### Codes - 33100000 - Medical equipments ## Release History - 21 May 2018 at 13:33 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37ff106c-e23c-41b7-8b3f-464b647f36b7 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/37ff106c-e23c-41b7-8b3f-464b647f36b7 21st May 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://ardengemcsu.bravosolution.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
